[ she thinks it's neat! like he's making his own outlines to color? maybe? hopefully, for the sake of his grades??
she's leeeaaning over to get a better look because she's curious. ]

For which of us?
[ but she straightens back up to return to her own work! it's a page with... a lot of chains crisscrossing all over it? and she's coloring them all in gold, carefully trying to get some semblance of shading going on. okay. ]
Well, either way I don't want to incur it.

[ she looks a little self conscious of it, but doesn't mind him having a peek. she's not very good at her efforts in shading, but she is staying between the lines. ]
Perhaps you can impress them when you next see them. Or collaborate to create art together!
Is art something that would serve you well, back home?

[ she looks impressed at that, since she isn't the artistic sort. but it turns to a look of sympathy at what she thinks was the more pressing matter: ]
Apparently...? Had you not been aware?

[ an imitation of caleb? hmm. ]
I'm sure that's a difficult situation for you both... But wouldn't that be all the more reason to find an excuse to do something together? It's a relaxing activity. It may ease the tension.

[ sounds like a yordle...... ]
Ah. Then you have all the more time to pick up the skills to shock her.
Perhaps they'll even offer us more advanced art classes, next term. Though I hate to believe we'll still be here for that.

... I'm having a hard time believing it. On one hand, I've seen what their... Magic-that-isn't-magic can do. Bringing all of us here and suppressing those who should have magic of their own.
But to freeze time across many worlds sounds impossible. And even if it is frozen, I don't know if that makes anything... Better.

Yes, that is... [ ............ she sounds very unsure. ] A relief?
The things you're missing, you mean? Is it more that than a loss of memories themselves?

Seems to be.
[He scratches at his chest, and shifts the coat over his chest more - so the scabbed over wound on it is more covered.]
Don't think I'm missing the memories, think I'm missing the time. I'm normally fairly good at keeping track of my mind, you know? Unless I've mixed suude and alcohol again, and that's certainly not the last thing I've got in there.

Another mystery of this place, then, and the way that it chooses to do things.
Well. It's a good thing your friends are here to help you, then, though it must be strange to hear of your own future... And I wonder what happens when we all return home, with new knowledge like that.

Can't say it's not a bit of a headfuck, hearing about things you haven't done yet. Hard to wrap your mind around what makes sense and what you think you'd actually do.
[He pauses, spinning the card he'd been drawing on.]
Suppose there's not much point in dwelling on it now. What about you? Things to get back to?

I can only imagine.
[ she stops coloring. ]
I'm - not sure, to be honest. A lot has been happening, but I'm still in the dark as to my role in it. I'm not quite as 'in the middle' of something as many people here were.
I'm sorry, that must be very vague. It's complicated.

[He waves a hand, letting the it's complicated sit.]
I'm only chattering. You're allowed all the complexities you like. Suppose I've never cared much about the past and digging it up anyway. Like I said, we're here now, so . . . really only forward to go.

[ she gives a small smile. that's a comfort. ]
A nice way of looking at it.
I truly wish that I could live in the moment in that way, but I'm afraid the past can be as good as shackles forced upon you, sometimes. They aren't easily removed.

[Coloring class got so fucking real so quickly? Molly just smiles back, and then goes back to his card, casual.]
You'd be far from the first person I've heard that from. I don't know that it's as difficult as all of that. At any rate, it's quite far away here yes? Could really be anything you want for the moment. Could be fun to try something.

[ ah just like real school. oversharing your trauma in art class while the teacher completely ignores you. ]
I've never been so removed from my home, to be honest. I travel, but always for my work to protect the kingdom. Everything I've ever done has been - for its betterment.
I. I don't know what to do, when it isn't for that cause.

[it really is just like real art class.]
Everything for your country then? [He tilts his head a bit.] Never been one for national loyalties myself, but suppose it's some people's bag.
Can just focus on some betterment for yourself. Or a few strangers. Might be interesting.
